Teaching Professional, Scott Hazledine was the model used to validate
the BioLinks® Golf AKF teaching method. In video #1, Scott and AKF
co-inventor, David Blackshear, discuss the Augmented Kinematic Feedback
concept. Video #2 shows Scott demonstrating his “motion learning”
method for chipping and pitching using the BioLinks® device.

The BioLinks® idea was born out of the need for a simple motion-training aid to help learn and master a complex sports activity with accuracy and repeatability – like swinging a golf club. After several years of research and development an amazing new product emerged – an invention that would help one easily recognize his/her own personal and unique correct range-of-motion pattern; then, without force or restraint, learn and repeat that pattern while not having to think about it. In its simplest form the BioLinks® device consists of a golf glove with an imbedded sensor that translates biomechanical signatures of hand, wrist and finger movements to a small, audio feedback generator that you listen to with a earphone. The range and speed of various joint movements compose a musical score of one's "body language." Easier to demonstrate than describe, BioLinks® feedback music guides you to the desired results in a manner similar to a metal-detector wand (magnetometer) now used for security screening in all airports. Finding hidden metal objects this way is intuitive – following the pitch and amplitude of these tone patterns actually lead the operator back to precisely where the hidden object was first discovered. So here's how the BioLinks® device works and why: 1. Execute your stroke (putt, chip, pitch or full swing) 2. Watch for the desired results (ball trajectory, distance and shot location) 3. Hear the real-time BioLinks® feedback music linked to your own personal "body language" that produced the shot 4. Repeat that stroke tone signature to create a motor program 5. HAVE FUN practicing the music you composed Just like a tune that you cannot get out of your head, once you've heard your own unique body language it can be unconsciously recalled and played back with remarkable precision and consistency. Remember, practice does not necessarily make perfect – PERFECT PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT NOTICE: The Augmented Kinematic Feedback invention previewed on these pages is an analog device that has not yet matured into a finished product. The BioLinks® principals are currently seeking strategic alliance partners for manufacturing the patented system, and will license the technology for integration into third-party products and systems.
